“Liminal is an exhibition that was thought out specifically for Pelaires, encompassing works from the last five years—from 2019 to 2024—in which Guzmán plays with her fascination with architecture using her skills for weaving artisanal techniques and universal concepts, to draw viewers along on an introspective journey that will give them space to explore the thresholds of their own existence.

Thought out as a whole, this exhibition draws together the key themes and images in Julia Aurora Guzmán’s artistic exploration: the fleeting nature of life, systems of support, rituals and celebrations. Offering a diverse range of materialities based on manual work and crafting, these pieces laid out in an upward pattern from the gallery courtyard up to Cabinet call upon the viewer to be present when visiting the exhibition, taking in all of the connections and overlapping readings possible. In Liminal, Guzmán deftly weaves a visual narrative that is both introspective and universal, creating a spatial dynamic that invites the viewer to move about and give themselves over to the interior voyage that each piece proposes.” Excerpt from exhibition text found below
